As soon as I came to Chengdu, I saw that there were two old men drinking tea and fighting crickets in front of the tall city gate. In Lin Sanchuan's impression, Yan Lin, young and old, was in a hurry, and no one said that he had such leisure, especially in this good morning. Or rather, their leisure and leisure are consumed by their tiring livelihood. What surprised him even more was that there was not a single soldier defending the city in front of this huge city.

Although there are many people coming and going in and out of the city, they do not seem to be in a hurry, and everyone has a comfortable and lazy portrait.

"In the east of the city, there is an inn that does not have a plaque, and I don't know if it is still open, so you go to the east of the city first, and find the inn to settle in, and if it is closed, you will find another one in the east of the city, and when I am done, I will look for you. Dong Ping's words interrupted Lin Sanchuan's thoughts, and Lin Sanchuan said, "Where is the son?"

Dong Ping put up his hands and said, "Get an errand." ”

Leng Piaopiao said: "Do you have silver on you?"

Dong Ping smiled and said, "What's the matter, do you think that I will rely on silver to make some connections?"

Leng Piaopiao smiled: "I have some silver on my body, and I have the confidence to speak." ”

Dong Ping shook his head and said: "The silver will be free, my face is the capital." Before Dong Ping's words fell, Leng Piaopiao twisted it on him, and said lightly: "Where are you going to get an errand, is it possible that you are going to Qinglou to be a turtle duke?"

Dong Ping stopped Leng Piaopiao's waist and said with a grin: I mean that in Chengdu Mansion, I have acquaintances, and if I lose two points of face, I can find an errand. ”

Leng Piaopiao twisted Dong Ping lightly and said, "Forgive me, I don't dare to be a turtle father." ”

After a few more small talks, they entered the city together, and then went their separate ways, two to the east of the city, and one to the west of the city.

At this time, it is the golden autumn, and the most famous begonia flowers in Chengdu have long been gone. But when I looked up, the red lanterns hanging all over the street added a different kind of beauty.

"On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, these lanterns should all be lit. Dong Ping muttered, and suddenly, a picture appeared in his mind. The night was shrouded, the heavens and the earth were splashed with thick ink, and in the bleak and dark night with no end in sight, there were thousands of red lanterns fluttering in the wind in a city. Immediately, Dong Ping remembered the Lantern Festival he had spent in Shubei City last time, the city was scattered, and only the children were broken by the lights.

"How did you come here, people can't help but be lazy, and when they are lazy, they are easy to recall the past. Dong Ping shook his head and smiled, and then walked forward with steady steps.

The government of Shuzhou was located in the west of the city, and Dong Ping also wanted to go to the government of Nafu. When Dong Ping was about to arrive at the yamen, he met two priests, an old man and a young man, wearing black robes and stepping on boots.

The old priest said, "Have you written the documents that were ordered from above yesterday?"

The young priest smiled embarrassedly: "I went to bed early yesterday and forgot to write it, you can help me take care of it more." ”

When the old priest heard this, he immediately glared at him and said, "You, you're going to let me be scolded by Lord Lu again!"

The young priest sneered and said, "Who made you always be my father?" ”

Dong Ping smiled dumbly when he heard this, and he said in his heart, this relationship is for his son, father and son. But his smile was heard by the young Absal. The young priest turned around, frowned and looked at Dong Ping and said, "What are you laughing at?"

Dong Ping arched his hand and said: "Your Excellency misunderstood, but I heard an acquaintance in the conversation between the two of you, and I couldn't help laughing." ”

Hearing this, the old priest also stopped and looked back, after all, he had been in the officialdom for many years, and when he looked at Dong Ping's appearance and dress, he knew how much this person came from. He smiled and said, "Could it be that the acquaintance in Your Excellency's mouth is Lord Lu?"

Dong Ping smiled and said: "Then dare to ask Lord Lu in Your Excellency's mouth, but your full name is Lu Yiqi?"

The old priest nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, it is Lu Yichi Lu supervising the army." ”

"That's it, I was an official in the same dynasty as Lord Lu, so I have some friendship. Dong Ping said, the old priest turned his mind quickly, the official position of the Lu supervisor army in their mansion in the court was not small, could it be that this young man also has a great background? Thinking of this, the old eunuch said respectfully: "In this case, then your Excellency will enter the mansion with you, and you can also pay tribute to the Lu supervisor army for your Excellency." ”

Dong Ping smiled: "Thank you over there, old man." ”

"It should. ”

After that, the three of them went to the Chengdu Mansion together.

Chengdu is the capital of Shuzhou, and the government offices set up in it are in charge of the important affairs of Shuzhou. So it's still early in the morning, and the house is in full swing. The kind of laziness that Dong Ping brought from outside the mansion seemed incompatible with the scene in this mansion.

After Dong Ping was taken into a remote courtyard by the old Abbot, the old Abbot smiled and said: "This is the daily hospitality place of the Lu Prison Army, Your Excellency will wait here for a while, and then go to report to the Lu Prison Army." By the way, I don't know your name?"

"In Xia Dongping, there is Mr. Lao. ”

"It's okay, it's okay. The old overseer smiled and went out. After he left, Dong Ping sat down on the stone chair. He rubbed his cheek and smiled helplessly: "Dude, I have to trouble you again this time." ”

The Lu Yichi in Dong Ping's mouth and the dead real Dong Ping are the same scholars, Dong usually saw the two playing together in the past, and the relationship between the two should be good. Later, when Dong Ping was in Shubei City, he occasionally learned that Nalu Yiqi took the initiative to hand over the fold, asked himself to demote the official a few levels, and asked the imperial court to lower him and go to other states to be a magistrate. But he didn't drop much, but came to Shuzhou to be a supervisor.

Dong Ping was thinking about how to deal with Nalu for a while, when he heard a hearty laugh from outside the courtyard: "Brother Dong, Brother Dong, I haven't seen you for many years, you want to be a brother." As the words fell, a middle-aged man in civilian clothes with curly long hair growing in his mouth strode in. Dong Ping knew that this person was Lu Yichi. Just look at this Lu Yichi, although he has a rough beard, but if he shaves that beard, he should be a delicate and talented person.

Dong Ping got up and smiled: "Brother Lu hasn't seen him for many years, but he is a lot sloppy. ”

Lu Yichi was slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for many years, but you will make fun of your brother." ”

Dong Ping's heart trembled slightly, and he secretly said that he should be shy. But this has already been said, and if he changes his tone, it will arouse suspicion, so Dong Ping will be wrong and smile: "In the north for a few years, people are naturally much more cheerful than then." ”

Lu Yichi beckoned Dong Ping to sit down and said, "By the way, Brother Dong, didn't you resign from your official position and move to the north with your brother and daughter-in-law, why did you have leisure to come to Shuzhou?"

Dong Ping sat down and said, "Brother Lu must know why I resigned back then." ”

Lu Yiqi suddenly clenched his fists and said: "Of course I know, it's not because of those big traitors in the court, brother, you have repeatedly participated in them, but they have been attacked and framed, brother, you can't stand it and moved to the north with your brother and daughter-in-law." I left Lin'an within a few months of your departure. By the way, did you come by yourself this time, or did you bring your brother and daughter-in-law with you?"

Dong Ping smiled and said, "I came with my insiders and a guard at home." ”

Lu Yichi's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he suddenly said lightly: "I didn't expect that brother, you also started to hire guards." ”

Dong Ping smiled and said, "Brother Lu, don't misunderstand, do you know what my brother did after I went to the north?"

Lu Yichi shook his head, and when Dong Ping saw this, he said: "Brother, I joined the army for two years in the barracks because I was invited by Ma Ansheng, the general who defended the twenty-seventh northern city. The guard who came with his brother was also a brother in the barracks. ”

"I see. Lu Yichi clenched his fists when he heard this, and said with a little shame: "Brother, don't blame, brother, I thought that you, like the people in the court, began to covet glory and wealth." ”

Dong Ping smiled and said: "What's so strange about this, didn't we also become brothers because of like-mindedness back then?"

"Exactly, exactly. Lu Yiqi immediately said: "That brother, since you joined the army in Shubei City, why did you come to Shuzhong again?"

When Dong Ping heard this, his face suddenly darkened and said: "Brother is also a last resort, General Ma was suddenly transferred, and my brother had no backer in the army, so he was suppressed under the pretext of being suppressed." The time is not forgiving, and the house leak coincides with the overnight rain. The insider suddenly became pregnant again, and my brother and I couldn't resist on my shoulders, and I couldn't lift my hands, and I only had some ability to be an official. Occasionally, I heard that Brother Lu joined the army in Shuzhong, and the bathroom dragged his family to join his brother in order to find an errand. ”

Lu Yichi laughed when he heard this, he nodded again and again: "Brother, you have a queen, this is a great joy, when I am off work today, I will definitely have a few drinks with my brother." ”

When Dong Ping heard this, his brows tightened, and there seemed to be tears rolling in his eyes. Lu Yichi was a little anxious when he saw this, and he hurriedly said, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Dong Ping wiped his tears and said, "Brother Lu, I won't hide it from you." Although it is a good thing that the inner person is pregnant, she has followed me to endure hardships in the north all these years and has become ill from hard work. I have to take a few tonics every day to maintain my body, but how can I afford it, brother, but for her, my brother can only come to ask Brother Lu to find an errand for my brother. ”

Lu Yichi was silent when he heard this, and after a while, he shook his head and said, "Brother, I still have some silver here, which I can give to my brother in emergency." But this arranges errands, and my brother is afraid that he is powerless. ”

Dong Ping frowned secretly when he heard this, and he sighed: "Brother Lu, as a state supervisor, why can't he even arrange an errand?"

Lu Yichi said lightly: "Don't hide it from my brother, if my brother and I are a supervisor elsewhere, how easy it would be to arrange an errand for my brother to eat." But in Shuzhou, no matter how small the personnel changes, they have to be reported to the Shuzhong Wangfu in every detail! Brother, my errand as a supervisor of the army is actually a false position, even if I want to recruit a few staff, then the Shuzhong Wangfu will not agree. Especially for someone like Brother Dong who used to be an official in the imperial court, it is even more difficult. ”

"Shuzhong Wangfu ......" Dong Ping knew that among these princes of the Great Song Dynasty, only the king of Shuzhong still held the military power in his hands, but he didn't know that the Shuzhong Wangfu was so domineering in Shuzhou.

Dong Ping smiled helplessly: "Since this is the case, it is not difficult for that brother to be Brother Lu." The brother had no choice but to go to Lin'an again and join those traitors. ”

"Bang!" Lu slapped the stone table with a foot, glared at Dong Ping angrily, and said: "Dong Ping, what are you talking about! If you don't become an official, you won't be able to live! Why don't I get you some silver, you can open a shop in this great Jincheng, and live in peace!"

Dong Ping smiled and said: "It seems that Brother Lu still doesn't understand brother, why we were officials back then, it was nothing more than to clarify Yuyu with our own meager strength." Although many years have passed, my brother's ambition has not changed. When I was in the northern city, although my brother and I were scholars, we also went into battle in person, shedding blood and sweat for sweeping away bandits. Although the brothers came to Chengdu because of their livelihood, they still wanted to make a contribution to the people of Li in addition to their livelihood. If it is as Brother Lu said, let my brother and I go into business. Admittedly, this can satisfy one's own desires. But he has lost his original intention, can such Dong Ping still be called brothers and sisters with Brother Lu?"

After listening to Dong Ping's words in silence, Lu Yichi couldn't help but nod and said, "Brother Dong, you really haven't changed over the years. In that case, then Brother Wei can recommend you there with peace of mind. ”

Dong Ping chuckled in his heart, he said secretly, sure enough, he was testing me.

"Brother Lu, where are you talking about?"

Lu Yichi said: "Brother Dong has ever heard of Qiandao Mansion?"

Dong Ping said: "Brother Lu can't it be said that the Qiandao Mansion located at the junction of Dali and Shuzhou is located?"

Lu Yichi nodded and said, "Yes, it is the Thousand Island Mansion." There are many lakes and islands in Qiandao Prefecture, and in recent years, water bandits have been rampant in its prefecture. The garrison there is often fighting, so the army there is in dire need of manpower. Although the army stationed in Qiandao Mansion belongs directly to the Shuzhong Palace, my brother knows the guard general there General Shi Mangshi, and there is a shortage of manpower there, so my brother can insert you into it.

The reason why I didn't tell my brother at first was because I was worried that my brother would have passed many years of peace after the blow of the DPRK and China. I was afraid that your state of mind would change and I didn't want to go to that bitter place to do an errand, so I didn't talk about it. But only after listening to the words of the army, did he know for his brother that his brother had not changed at all over the years, and he was still the sincere scholar who was still concerned about the world although he was boating in the West Lake. Brother, don't blame your brother, if you are willing to go to the military camp in Qiandao Lake now, then your brother will repair a letter to General Shi and send it over 800 miles in an urgent manner.

But if you don't want to go, brother, then brother won't take back his previous words, and is willing to give you some capital and let you do some small business. ”

Dong Ping smiled when he heard this: "Then it will trouble Brother Lu to spend some pen and ink." ”

Soon after, Lu Yiqi repaired the book and sent it to Qiandao Mansion. Later, he wanted to set up a banquet for Dong Ping, but was politely rejected by Dong Ping for the reason that he had to take care of his insiders. Lu couldn't resist Dong Ping, so he had to go with him.

When Dong Ping was sent away, Lu Yiqi returned to the room where he was dealing with official business, and a majestic old man with eyes as big as copper bells, white beard and snow, and a wrinkled but energetic face, was sitting on his chair in an official suit.

As soon as Lu Yichi saw this person, he said: "The lower official pays a visit to Lord Xie Zhizhou." ”

The old man waved his hand, and then said lightly: "I heard that your old friend who was an official in the same dynasty came to visit you?"

"Exactly. ”

"Oh, why did he come to you?"

Lu Yichi said bluntly: "He came to ask the subordinate to arrange an errand for him." ”

"You promised?" The old man's words suddenly became fierce.

Lu Yichi said lightly: "I agreed." ”

Lu Yiqi said that, and then heard a snap. He looked ahead, and saw that the old man's feet were already sunk into the stone slab.

"Don't forget, the above did everything possible to place you in this Shuzhou Mansion, don't spoil the big thing for your own desires. ”

Lu Yichi straightened up when he heard this, and he smiled at the old man and said: "I arranged that old friend under Shi Mang's command, also because I felt that something was wrong with him, as an observation, if he had any big things to do with me, the lower officials would end it." ”

The old man nodded, then stood up and said, "It's good that you have some sense of proportion in your heart." With that, he walked out with his hands in his hands. After the old man left, Lu Yiqi's brows tightened.

Let's say that Dong Ping left the Shuzhou Mansion and walked slowly on the street. He said in his heart, this group of literati is all eating this set of hypocritical rhetoric. ”

Suddenly, Dong Ping suddenly heard someone behind him shouting his name. He turned around with great vigilance, only to see a clear old man in a green shirt, with his hair scattered and holding a bamboo flute, looking at him with a smile.

When the old man saw Dong Ping turn around, he hugged his fists and said, "Your Excellency is Dong Ping Dong Gongzi, right?"

"Dare to ask Your Excellency?"

"Oh, I was born in Luyue Academy, and now I teach in Chengdu Fuzhong. ”

Dong Ping knew the identity of this old man when he heard this, Luyue Academy, as one of the top sects in the rivers and lakes, was naturally not exempt from vulgarity, and he had placed eyeliner to observe local movements in various states and counties. And this old man should be the liaison messenger of the academy in Chengdu.

"I see, Your Excellency should be Mr. Zhou. ”

The old man nodded and said, "Exactly, I just met Feng Gongzi and Sword Master Zhao a few days ago, but they just left yesterday." When the two of them left, they specially told the old man that if he found Dong Gongzi, he would report his safety. ”

Dong Ping said slightly apologetically: "The students had agreed with them to meet in Chengdu, how could they bear to be delayed due to some things." Brother Yushu, how did they go so fast, could it be that the person they were looking for was no longer in Shuzhou?"

The old man nodded, "Yes, but we have new information on our eyeliner elsewhere, and they have gone elsewhere." ”

"That's fine, and ask the gentleman to stay and report to the two of them that they are safe. ”

The old man smiled and said: "This is natural, then does Dong Gongzi want to continue to stay in Chengdu in the future, or ......?"

"Qiandao Prefecture, students are going to Qiandao Prefecture tomorrow. ”

The old man smiled and said, "I know." ”()
